Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - What's Going On Mix



Music City Railing by JWM (June 2013)


Ok.  We've whipped up a rich and hearty stew of good music - as usual crossing genres, styles, and decades with the greatest of ease.  

The mix begins next...

JUMP

PRE-SHUFFLE  

"What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye (Sister, Sister...)

"Needles and Pins" by the Ramones (song written by Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono)

"Mississippi" by David Nail (a flat out great song)

"Peggy's Tavern" by The Payroll Union (Americana from the mother country - Sheffield to be exact - h/t to PopaTunes)

"Wart Hog" by the Ramones (from Too Tough to Die. Dee Dee sings! Punk Rock!)

"It Belongs to You" by James the Giant (another excellent song from his stunning and powerful debut)

"Riot Path" by  Liquid Casing (A propulsive jam from A Separate Divide)

"Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" by the Ramones (Third Ramones song of the mix - yay!)

"Magdalene"  by Guy Clark (Nashville via Texas songwriter extraordinaire)



SHUFFLE

 "Defective Mind" by The Black Clouds from Better Days (2013)


A New Jersey band that makes some of the best grungy punk music I've heard in a while. High energy, melodious and fun.

"Ohio" by Devo from When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear - compilation (2002) 

A pretty cool cover of the Neil Young penned Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song.  Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh were students at Kent State at the time of the killings and Casale witnessed the shooting and knew two of the victims.  This is the second cover of this song we've had in one of our mixes. We previously featured a version by Mike Mills of R.E.M. with New Orleans Trombone ensemble Bonerama from a Hurricane Relief CD)

"Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy (sic)" by Heath McNease from Thrift Store Jesus (2012)


We jump over to another release by Heath McNease. This track references a popular segment from the 90s on SNL.  Jack Handey is the correct spelling. I'm not sure if the misspelling is intentional or not.

"Ramblin On My Mind" by Left Lane Cruisers and James Leg from Painkillers (2012)


Some more deep, deep blues from the Indiana based Left Lane Cruiser joined here by James Wesley Myers aka Reverend James Leg of Black Diamond Heavies... Oh yeah, it's a Robert Johnson song.
